I’M NOT EVEN GONNA WATCH HER PHONEY ASS CHAT, THIS DUMB B**** IS TOO FAR GONE.
SHE’S ATTEMPTING TO LOOK 50’S HOUSEWIFE AND LOOKS LIKE A WILD WEST SALOON PROSTITUTE… WAIT…

Yea yea uh
He come through with the money and the garter belts
I let him know we bout that cake straight up the gate uh
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I’m sayin�, why spend mine when I can spend yours
Disagree? Well that’s you and I�m sorry
Imma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high heel shoes get love from the dudes
4 bad ass chicks from the Moulin Rouge

why would nicki not answer the question ‘ where has she traveled and loved’ unless she has not traveled outside of the united states and thinks are starting to add up like she had to cancel her tour in canada and also she had to drop out of rihanna’s tour cause she could not get overseas’s work permits think about it she is either an illegal immigrant or a criminal.x

@ Future.:
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO. “A Wild West Saloon Prostitute” !!!!
XD….to funny.
But this looks ridiculous & i didn’t even watch any of them.
The titles say it all.
I think she’s so popular & winning things b.c of default.
I mean there’s nobdo else.
Look at the BET Awards….she won Best Female Rapper.
This was after Massive Attack her only solo song & it’s video flopped.
How did she win that award…with no album or good single ??
Well lets see…..the nominees were.:
Lil Kim.: who hasn’t had a single in over a year & it wasn’t even big.
Rasheeda.: Who’s really heard of her ??
Trina.: hasn’t had a hit singles since when….???
& Ester Dean (of all ppl).: isn’t even a rapper !!
So Nicki Minaj won by default !
Nicki Minaj is in the same age group as Lil Kim.
Yet she’s just now becoming popular once everyones gone.
& that’s why there’s so much hype around her…
because there’s NO one else.

@The Truth
oviously she dont wont to mention the countrys she liked the most cuz she likes all of them you thick f***.
and if she just said she was in tokyo then she ovi has been outside the states!!!
omg peeps even consider themselves minaj fanz these dais are avin a laugh

There was no need for language like that.. If she liked all the countries she has been to she did she not state that instead of saying ‘ i don’t want to talk about that.’ like she had something to hide, if you watch the video back again you will notice that she is clearly lying about being in tokyo the night before if you really believe that then u are the THICK F*** casue you can tell by her mannerisms and her body language that she is clearly LYING. She also looks relived once the questioning has more on.

And she is so right about her rapping style. SHe cannot be gangsta and rap about that type of stuff no more if she is not living that lifestyle anymore. That is FAKE and it urks my nerves when rappers are living so high and mighty and rapping about how they’ll shoot a n**** and all that. It’s good to shed light on that type of stuff to make change, but don’t rap about it like your living it.

Also f*** that plastic b**** Lil Kim.

She ain’t nobody and can somebody please tell me when the h** landed on planet bum to be with fat ass Keys. The B**** was just on planet commercial, u know the planet that Keys obviously can’t stand, but now she hangin out with commercial irrelevant b******. I hope Lil Kim is planet Bum lookin for her nose.

@BADD

She’s become popular when everyone is gone… OKAY

In Nicki’s song “Still I Rise”

She says when a door opens up for me that means all of yall gettin meetings

Which means she helping put females back on the spot. 2 years ago nobody cared about female rappers, but now that NIcki is out female rappers are finally starting to get recognition again.

ANd at the BET AWARDS Nicki shined the fact in her speech that female rappers need to come together if they want to get anything done. Which is so TRUE… LIL KIM OLD HAG ASS NEED TO GROW UP AND GET OVER THE FACT THAT SHE IS IRRELEVANT…

@ TeamMInajUpInThisBitch.:
Sit the FUQ downnnnnnnnnnn.
Nicki Minaj in all her candy bubble-gum rap bullshyt.
Is not the reason female rappers are
getting recognition…& what do you mean
again…they never lost it !!!
Wowwwwww. You stans are ridiculous.
She doesn’t talk about anything.
The only successful song she’s had was Your Love
& that wasn’t talking about anythinggg at ALL.
She is the black Katy Perry.
That Lil Kim beef is ridiculous.
& should end. But Nicki did come out real
cocky talking about she was gonna slay every rap
bish in the game…when wholetime…they
we’re all your age & had done this like 10 years ago.
But what are female rappers going to accomplish ??
Hell,, what has she accomplished since she’s talking so much ?/
But anywayss,,
You really need to sit down b.c you are TOO easy.
You get a double B**** PLEASEEEEEEEEEE & A H** SIT DOWNNNNNNNNNNN.

People can hate on Tina & Kim all they want however they have something Nicki doesnt.. Awards.. BET isnt an award. Bet is a joke.. Every since they sold to MTV – Who the __ watches it…

If Kim was so not relevant. Why has Nicki copied everything she has done. Why is it that every female artist in the industry respect Kim . Kim may be out of the spot light but Nicki can be who she is because of Kim. Because of Kim women can have clothing lines, be feminine, and model act etc. Queen Latifah started and Kim ran with it… Nicki just copied it..

When Nicki was underground she was a __ to watch now she is so rapped up in this Lady Gaga/Lil Kim thing that she lost what made her there.. Im not saying she doesnt have talent but she placed in on the background to gain fans and attention.. Not a Good Look. As Kim said ” I could have helped her” Kim made the same mistake Why does Nicki have to make the same one.

FYI – Tina last album may have flopped but guess she is more relavent than the people hating on her… Also Madonna had a few albums that flopped however it doesnt mean that she is any less relevant. Tina has a voice which will always be considered great..

Amazing how the people at home in the projects, using dial up internet on their 10 year old computer have the nerve to call someone irrelevant. Last I saw wasn’t Tina out buying a Ferrari for her husband. Hater – Sit your __ down and go catch the bus

Last I check Kim was in Africa & Europe.. Half you __ dont even have a passport!

I LOVE HOW THESE FAKE ASS B****** HATE ON QUEEN KIM SAYIN SHE AINT “RELEVANT” UM… ARE YOU FEELING PRESSED? ARE YOU MEANTIONING QUEEN KIM? THEN SHE IS RELEVENT.

IT’S LIKE @SHAN SAID

“If Kim was so not relevant. Why has Nicki copied everything she has done. Why is it that every female artist in the industry respect Kim . Kim may be out of the spot light but Nicki can be who she is because of Kim. Because of Kim women can have clothing lines, be feminine, and model act etc. Queen Latifah started and Kim ran with it… Nicki just copied it.. ”

AS FOR @TEAMMINAJUPINTHISBITCH & @TEEMWEEZY YEAH YOU CAN KEEP TAKIN SHOTS AT KIMS APPEARENCE BUT THAT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT QUEEN KIM WOULD SLAY NICKI ON THE MIC ANY DAY OF THE WEEK AND WHY ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT SURGERY?
WE ALL KNOW ONIKA’S ASS IS MORE PLASTIC THAN GAGA’S D*** AND SHE’LL PROBABY END UP LOOKING WORSE THAN KIM ANYWAY.

P.S THESE TWO F****** PROSTITUTES ARE MORE ORIGINAL AND BETTER RAPPERS THAN ONIKA LOL
I PLAYED “YOUR LOVE” 3 TIMES EVER, I JUST PLAYED THIS LIKE 10 TIMES IN A ROW, B****** FROM THE STREETS, #REPRESENT.

I prefer Kim to Nicki, but you’re giving Kim way too much credit. She’s no one’s Queen. I could name a few other female rappers, who came way before Kim and did it better than her. Kim was just able to sell more records because she was rapping at a time when there weren’t too many female rappers, and not mention she had Biggie in her corner. As of late, Kim fell off and it’s only natural to see another female come up the ranks and perch her self at the top. I wish Kim would’ve just hit the studio and crank out another hot album, instead of taking cheap shots Nicki. I guess Kim thought she had nothing to lose, and by going at someone like Nicki would give her some glory.

As reported here, Nicki Minaj is zooming to her next top 20 hit thanks to the Yo Gotti bop, ‘Rake It Up.’ Already hopping to #22 in just 6 weeks, the song’s promising ascent to the Hot 100’s upper fifth is all the more impressive given the absence of its official music… Read More

Cardi B‘s ‘Bodak Yellow’ ain’t just helping her make money moves, but it’s assisting with some impressive chart moves too. That’s right, just as we reported last week, the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ starlet’s breakout single could very well be on its way to breaking records if the steam behind it continues… Read More
